Perhaps you’ve already seen the new banners on our building? 🚀⁠

A new website and a fresh look for our social media will follow today! The revised visual language reflects the multivocal nature of the institute and our aim to be an accessible, recognisable and people-friendly museum for architecture, design and digital culture. ⁠Another striking new feature is the stylistic change in the organisation’s name: Nieuwe Instituut, with no ‘Het’.⁠

We are now live at our very own Mastodon instance. It's a good step on our journey towards a more inclusive and democratic internet.

Het Nieuwe Instituut is a testing ground for new designs and infrastructures. Consider this as a beta.
